Body weight

[money17]

I have the following springs on my 4 bar rayburn:
Lf 600 rf 400
lr 200 rr 225

i weigh 260 lbs. Should my rear spring weights be a little heavier?
I know they dont plan them with someone weighing that much.
Reason i ask lr sets down pretty hard off gas going in.
I have a 8-2 gas shock on lrb back only.
I know i need to trail brake better also.

Thanks

The car doesn't car where the weight comes from. It only cares about how where your weight is located and what your scale numbers are. Doesn't matter if the weight comes from you or from lead. As long as you scale the car with you in it (or weights in your place), and you have good shocks, you shouldn't need to change spring, unless you're unhappy with the handling. That's just my view on it though. 200 LR isn't out of the ballpark.

You would probably benefit from more compression damping on the lr wheel.

what about a brake floater on the LR. that would help wiht trail braking, and keeping car on the bars. Would also lessen the need for more compression on the LR.

That can work too. Plenty of ways to skin a cat.

how much more compression dampening would or should you go?

I can't really answer that because one person's 8-2 shock may not be the same as someone else's.
